"I shall buckle up my coveralls, pen the pig, and get my flintlock as I prepare for battle.... hey, what's a Laos?" said the redneck hillbilly Trump loving wankmaggot.
I wonder if they made a trophy for him and presented it to him if he would lift the tariffs. Stuff like that has kind of worked on him before. Lots of gold and it says "super King of tariffs"
And perhaps the reaction to trumps idiotic tariffs will help republicans to remove their heads out of trumps massive ass and start to act in the best interest of the US public rather than the trump fascist regime
Im not. But if real personal, financial pain from tariffs and the innumerable other hateful and stupid policies doesnt sink into the thick skulls of the fascist crowd then nothing will.
They calculated trade imbalance, take half and use it as a basis for tariff rate. It is not really tariffs rate by other countries.
Laos, Burma, Sri Lanka are small economies and afford less US products. Being poorer compared to other western countries, they get punished by 88% or more.
Find the James Suroweicki analysis (yes, on Twitter) where we learn the administration made up FAKE NUMBERS for what other countries are charging US goods in tariffs.
Shocked (SHOCKED, I tell you!) that the most transparent presidency in the history of presidencies made this shit up too.
F47 has invited the rest of the world to hate us. He is making us into the pariah he has always been. There's No One who will stand by us during this grotesque episode in our history..And that's the feature & not the bug
Fuck those Laotians! Always trying to screw the Great and Wonderful USofA! We've been treated so badly; worse than anyone has ever been treated before.
I don't understand why they want to bring back manufacturing. There's so many better opportunities for higher paying jobs. Manufacturing is going to be taken over by AI in a few years anyway. Maybe I answered my own question
The Plain of Jars; be sure to visit before someone thinks to return them for the deposit. During TV coverage of the Vietnam War, it was fairly common to hear commentators mention the Plain of Jars.
well at least it's not secret this time. did you know that we dropped more bombers on Laos than we did on Japan and Germany combined? The place didn't even have any roads let alone cities.
It could almost be called intimidation or harrassment or something. Also, I am not a #bodylanguage specialist but his eyes are alerting of restrained aggressivity.
I know...what does the Falkland Islands send us? 41% on the islands' major exports of wool, hides, venison, fish and squid. Welp, calamari is off the menu!!!!
Trump and his pals may be thinking that if they pull all the money and food away from us, I’ll get low wage workers, including children. But who will buy their stuff? No one has any money at this point.
Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam hit by big tariff increases. So does that mean that Trump thinks that cheap goods from these nations will now be manufactured in the USA, using US workers on higher wages, to produce the goods at the same price?
Oh. I am sure he put an exemption for those somewhere in his Executive Order just like he did for the good made in China that bear his Daughters Trademarks.
They have been unfair sanctions on these countries ever since they embarrased them by beating and chasing them from their countries. Now they will build even closer ties to China even though this will not be popular.
Man, at this point him and his entire admin are bringing the collective IQ of the USA down by 100 points.
This would be funny if it wasn't so f/king pathetic.
This is the man leading our economy: “Groceries, I used it on the campaign. It’s such an old-fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It’s a bag with different things in it,” he said.
Stable genius indeed
All crazy!!!...Norfolk island is an Australian external territory and is part of the AU/US free trade agreement. So now they are being hit with an extra? 29% tariff? On top of the Australian 10% increase? I think they do export around $175,000 worth of auto parts, so it that the reason?
My in laws lived in St. Kitts for some time. Nothing to export. Aghast that they have hit all the Central American countries with tariffs while Rubio promised no tariffs if they helped with the mass deportations. They just got played
No.
You just declared economic war on everybody. Including penguins.
🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧
Don’t worry, though! I’m sure those Pingu dollars will solve your national debt problem.
You are the stupidest fucking country on Earth. Congratulations.
WOOO!! USA, NUMBER ONE!!! WOOO!! PEW!! PEW!! PEW!! DERPY-DERPY-DOO!! WOOO!! USA, NUMBER ONE!!! BED BATH AND BEYOND!!! MERIKA!! WOOOO!!! HOT DOGGITY!! USA, NUMBER ONE!!! MERIKA!!
I just try and keep in mind what parents said back when we were bullied: The bigger they are, the harder they fall. (But then I think about my parents being pretty shitty prognosticators.😬)

No tax on buddy Vlad??
A White House intern probably copied the CIA world fact book 🙄
Look at how the tariff list spelled Coco Islands with Keeling in parentheses, just like the CIA world fact book
https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/
My conclusion: Trump is batshit crazy🤡
Clowns!

Do we actually import anything from them?
And several uninhabited islands!

Trump just walked out and said:
"Everyone of you is going to give me a percentage of everything you buy and there isn't a fucking thing you can do to stop me."
Trump couldn't find Laos on a map.
This would be funny if it wasn't so f/king pathetic.

I think they don't know what they are doing.
We export some great athletes. 🤣
